The AVR microcontroller by Atmel (now Microchip) is one of the most widely used 8-bit microcontrollers. The popular Arduino Uno board utilizes an AVR microcontroller. It is inexpensive and widely available around the world.

This book combines this combination. The authors apply a step-by-step and methodical approach to demonstrate the programming of the AVR chip. Examples are presented in both Assembly language and C, and they explain how to program many of the AVR features, such as timers, serial communication, ADC, SPI, I2C, and PWM.

The text consists of two parts:

1. The first 6 chapters use Assembly language programming to examine the internal architecture of the AVR.
2. Chapters 7-18 uses both Assembly and C to show the AVR peripherals and I/O interfacing to real-world devices such as LCD, motor, and sensor.

The appendices, source codes, tutorials and support materials for both books are available for download.

Arduino-Based ECU Development Board With Dual CAN Bus Interface

Leverage the power of an ARM Cortex M3 32-bit processing capability in combination with a dual CAN Bus interface to create your next CAN Bus or SAE J1939 application or prototype. 

By combining our dual CAN port interface, the Arduino DUE microcontroller, an OBD2 or SAE J1939 cable, and open-source software libraries you are ready to go with powerful a turn-key Arduino-based dual CAN bus solution.

Use the vast resources of Arduino software (sketches) and hardware components (shields) to create your CAN Bus, OBD2, or SAE J1939 application.

Possible applications include:

• CAN to USB Gateway and Protocol Converter
• CAN to Wireless (WiFi, Bluetooth) Gateway
• SAE J1939 Gateway and Protocol Converter
• CAN Data Logger
• CAN Bridge (connecting 2 CAN networks, even at different baud rates)
• CAN Analyzer (in combination with a suitable Windows program)
• SAE J1939 Data Monitoring
• CAN Bus ECU Prototyping
• SAE J1939 ECU Prototyping
